The free preventive dental services at Stout Middle School to help maintain students’ teeth health was rescheduled to Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018 in order to have more people sign in. Unfortunately, not enough students have registered. You still have until Friday, Jan. 26 to fill in the forms that were distributed to you. If you didn’t get any, please visit Mr. Sabra and get one. You can also pick up the form from the main office any time between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm.

A representative from Dentists Are Us will be here on Tuesday, Jan. 16. She will have a 5 minutes presentation per class. The service is free, so take advantage of that. If we do not get enough people, we will lose this important program.

The ACCESS Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) Community Coalition will be hosting a community town hall on January 30^th from 6pm to 8pm held at The Annex @ the Arab American National Museum (13624 Michigan Ave, Dearborn MI 48126). The event will have a interactive panel discussion on how we can  help our communities overcome addiction, discuss the work we have done over the year.

The Students’ Corner has just received two quotes that are so similar from two different students.

Marya Abdullah sent us this quote: “Don’t stress! Do your best! Forget the rest!”

While  Ali Alhadheri shared this similar quote: “Life doesn’t require us to be the best, only that we try our best.”

It seems that they both want us to do our best regardless of the outcome.

La’Nya Brown thinks that to make a change, you need to lead by example. So she shared with us this wise quote:

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

I totally agree. Just complaining will not change anything.
